Three steps in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) neurotoxicity were compared with the neurodegenerative effects of the toxin in mice and rats. Firstly, we compared the neurotoxicity of MPTP, mediated by monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B, to that of 1-methyl-4-(2'-methylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (2'-CH3-MPTP), an analogue oxidized by

Neuroendocrine abnormality of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis was investigated in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated dogs as a model of Parkinson's disease. Blood samples were collected every 4 h for 3-4 days before MPTP treatment, around 2 and 4 weeks after the treatment of

The administration to mice of 1-methyl-4-(2'-methylphenyl)-1,2,3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (2'-CH3-MPTP), a substituted analog of the dopaminergic neurotoxin MPTP caused even more dopaminergic toxicity than MPTP itself. Under conditions in which MPTP was relatively ineffective (i.e. two injections per day of 0.113 mmol/kg

1. In the present study we provide evidence for a saturable, Mg2+/ATP- and temperature-dependent, tetrabenazine-, dopamine-, and amphetamine-sensitive uptake of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+) in synaptic vesicles from mouse striatum. 2. Similarity in the properties of the vesicular uptake suggests that

The neurotoxic actions of MPTP and its 4-(O-tolyl) analog (2'-Me-MPTP) on two breeds of rabbits were investigated. MPTP, but not 2'-Me-MPTP, causes a reduction (about 40%) in striatal dopamine content in rabbits of the "little silver-black" breed. The dopamine content
